SL102R005

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The SL102R005 is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor from the Vishay Ametherm SL10 series, designed as an inrush current limiter. It features a nominal resistance of 2 Ohms with a tolerance of ±20%. The component has a maximum steady-state current rating of 5 A and operates at voltage ratings of 115 VAC or 230 VAC. It utilizes radial leads with a spacing of 5.10 mm and has a cylindrical body diameter of 10.00 mm.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Utilizes NTC thermistor technology to provide high initial resistance that decreases rapidly upon heating.
• Protects electronic circuits by limiting peak inrush currents during power-up phases.
• Features radial leaded construction for standard PCB mounting applications.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
